Product details
This genuine Electrolux group defrost heater is a double element rated at 350W and 440mm long, part 4055724282, also numbered 1441000. It suits a wide spread of Westinghouse frost free fridges, from the older BJ383V, BJ433V, RJ392V and RJ423V to the WTM3900WB, WTM4200WB, WTE4200SB, WBM4300WB and WBE4300SB. Forty models are on file in total.
Freezer iced up and fridge getting warm?
In a frost free fridge, cold air comes from an evaporator coil hidden behind the freezer back panel. At set intervals the control switches on the defrost heater to melt the frost off that coil, and the water drains away. When the heater burns out, frost keeps building until the coil is a solid block of ice. Air can no longer flow, so the fridge section warms up first, then the freezer struggles. Look for heavy ice behind the rear panel, a fan that sounds muffled or scrapes on ice, and water leaking from the base.

Fitting a defrost heater
Switch off at the wall, unplug, and move the frozen food into an esky. Take off the rear panel inside the freezer and let any ice melt fully, using towels to catch the water. Photograph how the heater sits on the coil and how its wires connect before removing it. Check the defrost thermostat and thermal fuse while you are in there, as a fault in either can also stop the defrost.
Questions about this part
Should I test the old heater first?
Yes, if you have a multimeter. A heater with an open circuit gives no reading and needs replacing. If the heater reads fine, the defrost thermostat, thermal fuse or control may be at fault, so test those before ordering.
